Flow Builder

The Flow Builder is where every bot's conversation logic is designed. It's a drag-and-drop canvas where you place nodes, connect them with edges, and configure each step.

Publishing

The Flow Builder is a design surface. Saving keeps a draft; Publish promotes the current flow to the live version served to your users. See Publishing for the release model, versioning, and rollback.
